Will it match?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The following is a question I got from one of our visitors that is a follow-up after I answered her question about using a <a href=\"https:\/\/mynewsmile.com\/blog\/?p=1165\">toothpaste with baking soda on porcelain veneers:<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hall,<br \/>\nI have one last question. One of my veneers on the front teeth apparently left some dentin exposed on that tooth. I had a lot of sensitivity but that has improved ( it has been about a month since they were put on). The dentist wants to replace this veneer and fit it properly. However, I am worried that the color won\u2019t match and I don\u2019t want to have to live with one tooth that is different. Also I\u2019m worried about the risks of removing the veneer (possibly breaking the underlying tooth or surrounding veneers.<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts? I\u2019m considering just living with it the way it is, but if I had more confidence fixing it would be ok, I\u2019d go ahead and have it replaced.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<br \/>\nMonica from Maryland<\/p>\n<p>Monica,<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t know who your dentist is, but I think I remember your saying that you had one of our recommended <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/cosmeticdentist.htm\">cosmetic dentists<\/a> do this. Anyone we recommend should have no trouble matching your existing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/porcelainveneers.htm\">porcelain veneers<\/a>. Excellent cosmetic dental laboratories, which are the ones that excellent cosmetic dentists use, will keep their color formulas for work they create so that they can perfectly match previous work.<\/p>\n<p>And damaging the tooth is a non-issue. In fact, you pose more risk to the tooth by leaving this source of irritation than by re-doing the veneer. Exposed dentin has tubules that go straight to the pulp &#8211; this is why the tooth is sensitive. And open tubules are a risk for bacteria getting into the pulp. My advice would be to let your dentist do this for you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Dr. Hall<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n  (function() {\n    var po = document.createElement('script'); po.type = 'text\/javascript'; po.async = true;\n    po.src = 'https:\/\/apis.google.com\/js\/plusone.js';\n    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);\n  })();\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n<div>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"728\" bgcolor=\"#a9c5a5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;\">We thank our advertisers who help fund this site.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n google_ad_client = \"pub-4419877247826466\"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; google_ad_format = \"728x90_as\"; google_ad_type = \"text_image\"; \/\/2007-03-26: CosmDent Blog google_ad_channel = \"9579159778\"; google_color_border = \"A9C5A5\"; google_color_bg = \"FFFFFF\"; google_color_link = \"1B703A\"; google_color_text = \"000000\"; google_color_url = \"008000\";\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is a question I got from one of our visitors that is a follow-up after I answered her question about using a toothpaste with baking soda on porcelain veneers: Dr. Hall, I have one last question.
